Before it Starts!

The wife sighed and got him a soda.
Ten minutes later, he said, "Get me another soda before it starts!"
She looked cross, but fetched another soda and slammed it down next to him. He finished that soda and a few minutes later said, "Quick, get me another soda, it's going to start any minute!"
The wife was furious. "Is that all you're going to do tonight! Drink soda and sit in front of that TV! You're nothing but a lazy, fat slob and furthermore..."
The man sighed and said, "It's started."
